What happens to the rights of a party if a motion has been part heard or adjourned to another day?

When a motion has been part heard or adjourned to another day, the rights of the parties involved remain intact, and only certain procedural steps are required to continue with the matter. In this scenario, a further motion does not necessitate extensive formalities. Specifically, the requirement for service on unserved parties is dependent on the court’s order.

This means that if the court has made an instruction regarding the need to serve those parties who were not previously served, the parties must follow that directive. However, if no such order is made, then service may not be required, allowing for efficiency in legal proceedings. The focus here is on the continuity of the current motion and how it can seamlessly transition to the adjourned date, rather than starting the process anew or facing restrictions on the submission of further motions.

This approach emphasizes the court's interest in efficiently managing cases while also ensuring all parties are adequately informed and can participate, which reflects the overall goals of civil procedure.
